I did see it! Intolerable!! Something must be done!!! The spelling I mean ... the spelling situation around here has REALLY gotten out of hand!!!! More on this below, I have a particularly silly idea forming on what needs to be done ...

Lets not start the correct spelling in this thread please that is why we have round table discussions besides to say Ni to each other.

Here I must disagree with Sir Killerrabbit. This forum is the entry point for many of our newest members, and so it is EXACTLY the place to correct those poor misguided souls who mispell Looney before they pass this naughty habit on to others.

Therefore, I would like to propose we institute some guidelines for the corrective punishment of those who suggest that Looney ought to be spelled in any way other than El-double-Oh-En-Ee-Weye ... (uhoh, I may have just invented a new mispelling , but I digress). Here are my suggestions:

1) First Offense or Minor Infractions: A subscription to the FISH-OF-THE-MONTH CLUB.

3) Chronic Offenders: These miscreants will be placed in a comfy wingback chair and poked repeatedly with a soft cushion until they confess their misdeeds.
Should this fail, they may be given a nice hot cup of tea.

4) There is no sugestion #4.

5) For the Worst-of-the-Worst Only: A no expense paid visit with Sir Fart!!!
(Note to Sir Fart: plan on spending a lot of time with yourself! ).

I have some plans of actually implementing this system on a semi-automated (or at least volunteer) basis. How soon this happens depend on circumstances beyond my control (web server changes here at Castle Elderberry). If any of you web knowledgeable folk can lend a small amount of assistance, please send me a PM.

LOONIE is a Canadian dollar. And yes the plural form of loonie can be spelled loonies. However, I do not think at any time that I wish to call any of you all (pronounced ya'll here in Georgia) a Canadian dollar.

Now that you've verbally thwacked everyone and have resolved this spelling thing, what have you left for Fart and Hamster to fight about?

By the way: it's not the point who is right but who gets his way.

Ni!

Don't care who is right or who is wrong. Just do not get me involved in squabbles about spelling. I will thwack you.

As for what will Fart and Hamster fight about? I am quite sure they will ignore my response (even though it is not in the ignore thread) and continue as they always have. Who knows maybe they will find something new so I can thwack them again when I get involved. _________________|----Ni---Ni----|
